I believe that's because only north America experienced totality for that eclipse (along that line).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_April_8,_2024

The people who live there are members of humanity. As you can see, the humans not on the totality line mostly didn't hurt their eyes. that probably is true for the rest of humanity. this post is about the humans on the line though

Would you prefer the post be entitled "Humanity that stares at the sun during totality never cease to amaze me" and kill what tiny semblance of a joke is there?
